1832 Capped Bust Half Dime, 1920s-1930s sterling ring with my birthstone and the size is the day i was born on. These are my favorites. I can't pick my favorite though :/ probably the half dime but the ring and how it matches by birthday exactly is pretty cool.

You know what, I admit I have no idea what that is, but still would say cool. So what is it ?

What's my coolest, Hard to narrow to just one, but might just be a first year find, my avitar, which Mark Parker didn't have an answer for, so for that reason it is not common, and pretty cool.

EDIT, it is STERLING, and like a collar stud.

Wow Rick, that is a stunner!@ Other than the lack of the 'Order of the Garter' legend, the design is of British royal arms, and reminiscent of a small silver pin I recovered in Maine. Guessing since you didn't mention anything it is unmarked on the back, any remains of attachments?...

Yes still has the "stud" on the back, "STERLING" and an "E" inside of a small maple leaf.

I've posted a few already, another favorite is this Sterling 'Arturo Fuentes & Co' cigar band from turn of the last century, Makers mark appears to be 'Birmingham Guild of Handicrafts' circa 1897. Find no other examples of this item in current or past auctions or online collections, and cigar bands have quite a collectors following.
I have some pix that show the date letter more clearly, but can't find em right now. Keep on showing them favorites

During the 1970's myself and several friends where serious Ring Neck Pheasant hunters We hunted all day on Saturdays thru the week in the afternoons and would use vacation time to get a few pheasants .One drizzly rainy Saturday morning I got a nice one while walking along an old pasture fence .When I cleaned it later in the day I decided to clean the gizzard also . Inside the gizzard was this orange and white marble .I suppose the bird thought the marble was a kernel of corn and ate it

 

[glass half fool]

There is a wide array of things shown here .But this bell found by Evolutionl is so cool it is totally incredible

 

[GB1]

I found this bicycle head badge about 40 years ago as a youngster with an old analog beginner detector.Boy was I hooked as I began pulling this kind of stuff from the ground in my neighborhood. Still one of my favorite finds. They only made bikes for a few years from about 1898 to 1900 era.
